Wayne County Teachers Insti
tute.

The Institute, held in Cassyille,
commencing June 9th, was in all
respects quite q success in some
respects the best ever held in
Wayne county. The attendance
was the largest ever enrolled, was
regular and we'll sustained from be-
ginning to end,
About 16o teachers were in a.ten-
dance nearly one-half of whom
were females.
The Institute was happy in the
choice of Prot. Hodges, Principal Of
Marshall College, as instructor
Prof. Hodges is a scholar and a
good Christian gentleman a man
well versedIin allthe modern. plans
and methods Of instruction, and an
able advocate of Temperance, and
| every principle Of moral and social
reform, He could hardly. fail to
leave an impression upon4thelrliuds
of the numerous. Teachers who en-
! Logged his Instructions, and wa may
hope thatas result of the Institute
the cause of sound Christian educa-
ton will receive an impulse in our
county. ii: -
The large proportion of female
Teachers in the Institute and the
county isa matter OF some interest.
This, inthe estimation ofthe Super
intendept is. hopeful feattire in
our prospects. He inclines to the
opinion that females, are better
adapted TO che situation as teachers,
and the cause of, education has
nothing to fear from the large ac-
cessions they are making to the
ranks of the profession. The
Professor is perh APPS not
a lone in this opinion
At all events, the Girl is cutting,
quite figure in the schools in these
times, and the,interests of educa-
ton are passing largely into her
hands. And how they do work !
The Boy will have to fail into the
line ofprogress or stand out OF the
way.
So much in the, way Of merited
communication. Now word or
two in the way of will not say
criticism, but | will say OF sugges-
ton. / think the Institute was
possibly just d little more adjusta-
Bile than was consistent with the
proper design oft.
Certainly an occasional recita-
ton or enactment Of a scene is adj
missable, as an expedient for reliev-
ling the tedium of the session and
giving variety to the exercises OF the
Institute; but it may he a ques-
ton whether it is Just the right
thing for the time Of the Institute to
be occupied by the rehearsals Of
entertainments which may have
been given by schools ofthe coun-
ty, on other occasions. These re-
hearsals were certainly enjoyable,
but possibly they were allowed to
consume more ofthe time of the In
stitute than was best.
In one other respect there might
have been some improvement. Tru-
| ly the lectures aud talks by the In
structorand others were unexcep-

The native policeman is the most num-

William Beecher'S Dream,

Chicago Special 10 New York Her
aid: The Rev. William Beecher. an
elder brother of Henry Ward Beecher.
has been a resident Of Chicago for n
good many years. A few wears ago
there was no more striking figure on
the streets than his. but of late wears
he has been confined TO MS house. Four
or five years ago he celebrated his
eightieth birthday by preaching a re-
markable sermon at the First Congre-
gational church. At that time<se bore
his lour-score years lightly, since
then he has with every added year aged
rapidly, and is now very feeble.
A few days before his brother was
stricken down Mr.. Beecher had a
dream. which he Interpreted to his
daughter as an in'in; ton that he va
so1n to be called away. When the
family received the news of Henry
Ward Beecher's fatal illness his daugh-
ters were in doubt as to what course
to pursue, fearing the effect of the
shock. They sent for the family ply
stefan, who advised that Mr.. Beech
er be advised at once as to the contents
OF the message. One of his daughters
went to his room and said: Father.
you were mistaken as to the meaning
of your dream. 1t was not you who
was to be called. but Uncle Henrv."
After asking if Eenry was dead. and
listening to the particulars, he said:
His work is done. | would like to 90
in the same way"
MIR. Beecber has always mAscsted
the greatest interest in his Ringer
brother. Henry, and while not in SYM
pathy with him in some things, has
always been ready to say q good word
for him. Whenever Ward Beecher has
appeared in the pulpit or on the plat
form in Chicago some one of his broth
er's family has been present, and it
will be remembered that when, some
years ago, Henry Ward Beecher was
taken suddenly i'll in the midst of his
lecture, ut Central Music Hall, one of
the first persons to reach his side was
his niece, Mrs. Preussner.
